About Me
Kim Wiggins, OTR/L is a globally recognized school-based occupational therapist, entrepreneur, and professional development trainer with over 20 years of experience. Through her business, OTKimWiggins LLC, she develops evidence-based curricula and resources for educators, therapists, and families. Kim is the author of Just Right! Jr. and the co-author of Just Right! A Sensory Modulation Curriculum for K–5. Since 2010, she has presented live and virtual trainings across the world on topics including MTSS, sensory-motor labs, vision, fine-motor mastery, primitive reflex integration, and much more!
​
She juggles evidence-based practice, international trainings, and product launches with the same energy she brings to chore charts, carnival planning, and sports schedules. Her creativity shines through in everything she does, turning self-regulation into interactive games, reflexes into kid-friendly visuals, and family life into organized systems. Equal parts researcher, teacher, businesswoman, and mom, Kim is always chasing the “just right” balance.
​
In addition to her clinical and entrepreneurial work, Kim mentors future occupational therapists (over 20 OT fieldwork students), contributes to peer-reviewed publications, and collaborates with schools and professional organizations worldwide to advance inclusive and effective OT practices. Her innovative approach combines research-driven strategies with practical, easy-to-use tools, empowering children, families, and educators to achieve meaningful outcomes.
